201 Matthew 21
ping him, and desiring a certain thing of
him.
21 And he said to her, What do you
want? She said to him, Grant that these
my two sons may sit, the one on your
right hand, and the other on the left, in
your kingdom.
22 But Jesus answered and said, You
know not what you ask. Are you able to
drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and
to be baptized with the baptism that I
am baptized with? They said to him, We
are able.
23 And he said to them, You shall drink
indeed of my cup, and be baptized with
the baptism that I am baptized with: but
to sit on my right hand, and on my left,
is not mine to give, but it shall be given
to them for whom it is prepared of my
Father.
24 And when the ten heard it, they were
moved with indignation against the two
brethren.
25 But Jesus called them to him, and said,
You know that the princes of the Gentiles
exercise dominion over them, and
they that are great exercise authority upon
them.
26 But it shall not be so among you: but
whosoever will be great among you, let
him be your minister;
27 And whosoever will be chief among
you, let him be your servant:
28 Even as the Son of man came not to
be ministered unto, but to minister, and
to give his life a ransom for many.
29 And as they departed from Jericho, a
great multitude followed him.
30 And, behold, two blind men sitting
by the way side, when they heard that
Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have
mercy on us, O Lord, you Son of David.
31 And the multitude rebuked them, because
they should hold their peace: but
they cried the more, saying, Have mercy
on us, O Lord, you Son of David.
32 And Jesus stood still, and called them,
and said, What will you that I shall do to
you?
33 They said to him, Lord, that our eyes
may be opened.
34 So Jesus had compassion on them,
and touched their eyes: and immediately
their eyes received sight, and they followed
him.

CHAPTER 21
ND when they drew near to Jerusalem,
and were come to Bethphage,
to the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus
two disciples,
2 Saying to them, Go into the village over
against you, and straightway you shall
find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose
them, and bring them to me.
3 And if any man says anything to you,
you shall say, The Lord has need of them;
and straightway he will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by the prophet,
saying,
5 Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your
King comes to you, meek, and sitting upon
an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus
commanded them,
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and
put on them their clothes, and they set
20:28 “If the sinless Christ, who is literally God in human flesh and Lord of all, would so humble
Himself for us, we dare not denigrate humility or aspire to self-esteem instead of lowliness...Do you
want to be blessed? Develop a servant’s heart. If Jesus can step down from His glorious equality
with God to become a man, and then further humble Himself to be a servant and wash the feet of
twelve undeserving sinners—then humble Himself to die so horribly on our behalf, surely we ought
to be willing to suffer any indignity to serve Him.” John MacArthur, “Humility,” Moody Magazine
